Travis Kelce has Swifties smitten with just three letters.
During the "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday, November 29, Jason Kelce mentioned Taylor Swift while discussing Travis, 34, who became the fastest tight end to reach 11,000 yards, making him the only tight end in the Kansas City Chiefs organization to achieve this milestone.
Travis told his brother that while it's nice, there's no need to congratulate him each time he reaches a new milestone. His brother agreed, but pointed out that it does feel good. Travis then gave a shout-out to all his teammates for helping him achieve these records every week.
Jason, 36, playfully taunted, "You might not be interested in records, but you know who is? Taylor Swift, a 92%er. That's right, she 'liked' an Instagram post from the Chiefs about you breaking the record."
Travis, relying on his catchphrase "Alright nah," looked embarrassed.
"Thank you, Tay," he said, his voice taking on a softer tone. "I really value your support for the Yeti on the Chiefs page. So, what's the next question?"
"Has she always been a fan of tight end receiving yards?" Jason inquired.
Travis seemed eager to shift the topic. "I'm not certain if that's a suitable question," he replied. "Perhaps, I'm unsure if she's a fan of tight ends or not. We'll have to inquire."
Travis Kelce referenced Taylor Swift, 33, in his song "New Heights" in July, expressing his desire to give the Grammy winner a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it when she brought The Eras Tour to Kansas City. This was captured in a photo by Gotham/GC Images.
Travis shared with WSJ. Magazine, "I had someone acting as a matchmaker. She informed me about everything and how fortunate I was that she reached out to me."
They made their relationship public in September when she was seen at a Chiefs game.
“I’ve got everyone telling me, ‘Don’t mess this up!’ and I’m just sitting here like, ‘Yeah, I’ve got it,’” he told the magazine, emphasizing that he has been cautious about sharing details about their relationship. Travis made it a priority not to say anything that would jeopardize his connection with Taylor.
Travis later flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina to attend Swift’s performance on November 11. The “You’re Losing Me” artist has now concluded her shows for the year, and she traveled to Kansas City to be with Travis on Monday, November 27.
"They have meticulously planned out their upcoming schedules, as she's on tour and he has games. Taylor and Travis have the next few months completely organized," a source revealed to We earlier this month. "They are determined to avoid long periods of time apart at the start of their relationship. They are aiming to be as normal a couple as possible."
